My regular domain is one I got from GoDaddy.

Just recently, I registered a short .cr domain (Costa Rica) in http://www.nic.cr/ . During registration, they asked for nameservers (and just nameservers), so I thought of reusing my GoDaddy nameservers.

I kinda thought it would just be a straight-forward mapping, but nothing's happening, though. What am I missing here?

(There is an option to use their own nameservers, but I just wanted to explore this option. If there's nothing to be had here, I'll fall back to using theirs.)
